Short-chain carboxylic acids produced by C.albicans in glucose supplemented batch cultures and in human denture plaque has been qualitatively and quantitatively analysed using isotachophoresis. This rapid, simple and relatively new technique which has advantages over other conventional methods, such as gas liquid chromatography, could be a valuable tool in the analysis of carboxylic acids produced by other yeasts of clinical and industrial importance.
